Tongue First, published in 1998, is Emily Jenkins’ non-fiction debut, written before she became known for children’s books and young adult novels. The book explores her relationship with food, taste, and sensory experience, approaching life with the curiosity and directness that would later characterize her fiction.
The book shows a different side of Jenkins from the one most readers know. It’s a personal, essayistic work that reads like the product of someone who thinks carefully about everyday pleasures and isn’t afraid to be honest about them.
